The cable channel said Thursday that it has officially canceled the show, nearly two months after revelations about acts of child molestation committed by one of the 19 kids, Josh Duggar, when he was a teenager. Several of his sisters were among the victims.

TLC initially pulled the past episodes of "19 Kids and Counting" from its schedule, but kept open the possibility that the show would resume someday.

Now it's saying production of the series will not resume, despite its longtime popularity.
However, a spokesman for Discovery Communications, which owns TLC, said the channel is not ruling out a spin-off show featuring some of the Duggar children in the future.

Discovery will be producing and airing a one-hour special on the issue of child molestation, featuring two of the Duggar women who were molested.
